    1. Better understanding of customer choice and sales insights. 2. High chance that we can convert the lead into sales as SAP analyzes the customer's need and behavior. 3. As it analyzes the data behind the scenes, a better price deal closing is possible, as it gives that level of insight.

    1. SMARTe was purchased to serve three purposes. To to act as a secondary source of enrichment to another product. Our lead qualification processes rely on accurate data being populated and enriched. SMARTe boosts our enrichment rate by 20% in some areas vs our other supplier. We performed this analysis during renewal which confirmed their complimentary functionality in this area. From this point of view it runs silently in the background without maintenance making it perfect for our needs.
    2. The ability to correctly classify free Text job titles into segmentable values. Most enrichment platforms will provide values with a job title they provide which is ok, but SMARTe will categorise any title we send regardless of if they match the contact. This has a large impact to how we can successfully make use of our data from segmentation to Lead Scoring.
    3. New contacts - we have two options here, download straight from their humungous dataset using the filters provided (including being able to upload accounts to match). Or, use their bespoke service which ranges from desk based research to GDPR compliant phone qualifies contacts. One area that could improve is the integration with HubSpot. A robust API means we have managed to integrate, but Native integration would be preferred.

    Cons
    SAP
    • One area of concern is the many data silos that are present within SAP sales cloud
    • While creating filters for accessing sales lead reports, the accuracy is missing sometimes.
    • The product is quite vast and a lot more learning material and knowledge base documents are required.

    SAP
    SAP's customer service is quick and efficient, with a response time of fewer than some minutes. In either case, you'll get instant help from the vendor or online forums. In addition, the vendor provides excellent global support for this tool. Like Salesforce, SugarCRM, etc., it's probably fine as a standalone CRM option.

    Implementation Rating
    SAP
    I would rate the implementation a 7. While the process overall was successful, there were challenges related to data migration, integration with other systems, and initial user adoption. However, the support from SAP during the implementation phase was helpful, and we were able to resolve the major issues as the process progressed.

    We use them to compliment each other, there are areas that Clearbit provides matches that SMARTe does not and visa versa. This applies at both a contact and an account level. Where SMARTe really stands out (for me) is the ability to classify any provided Job Title. This really has dramatic impact to our processes. Clearbit does have a native integration that offers data refresh.

    Scalability
    SAP
    We can effectively manage sales and achieve scalable segmentation and targeting with SAP Sales Cloud, all with little training required. The program is incredibly user-friendly and enables additional ERP system integration. The automated authorization system, which has made permissions management easier and can be implemented in the cloud by several cloud service tenants—each of whom is a cloud service provider—was something I really appreciated. For users who don't want to click on three links to launch each relevant CRM program, this is quite helpful.

    Return on Investment
    SAP
    • Positive Impact: SAP Sales Cloud can lead to increased sales efficiency by automating manual tasks, streamlining workflows, and providing real-time access to customer data. This can result in sales teams spending more time on revenue-generating activities.
    • Negative Impact: The initial costs associated with implementing SAP Sales Cloud, including licensing, customization, and training, can be significant. If not managed properly, this may impact the short-term financials and the expected payback period.
    • Negative Impact: The comprehensive features of SAP Sales Cloud might result in a steeper learning curve for users. If not addressed through adequate training and change management, this complexity can temporarily impact productivity.
